Notes

  • ECTS grades are distribution-based; universities may differ in exact cutoffs.
  • Use this as an admissions-level estimate only.

Grading policies differ by university, department, and academic year. Use your institution's official calculator or transcript office for anything that counts (transfer credit, scholarships, honors).
